The Bothy St Andrews

We visited The Bothy last month as a group of 21 people, mostly students. Had made a reservation well in advance. They'd set a whole top floor aside for us, tables and everything well arranged before we got there. We were served by Chris that night; she and the folks with her looked after the needs of the group really well. Turns out, our travel agent had missed out some dietary restrictions. Folks at the restaurant were very accommodating of this. That first soup never had something so amazing. Everybody enjoyed their food! Great service. 10/10 would go again.

Very poor all round. We were given the menus at 7.15pm and the waitress told us that 7 dishes had ran out. We asked what the “Braw Deal” options were and this was apparently off too, despite being a Friday. Having picked from the limited menu we were told that they’d run out of more items and had to choose again. We had some basic starters which were fine, but then waited an hour for the mains. We had to leave for arranged transport at 9, so agreed to pay the bill when the food arrived to save time. The fish pie was cold, the steak was under cooked and tough (didn’t get eaten) and the chips were hard. The sauces for the burgers never arrived, so had to leave the table to find the waitress to get these. We got 20% off the bill due to the poor selection. This still totalled £125 for what was very poor quality and service. They may just have had a bad evening, but I’d suggest not worth the gamble. We certainly won’t be back.

Absolutely beautiful food. An amazing find after not being able to get in at our first choice. We had been in the area visiting relatives and called for food before heading back across Scotland. Absolutely recommend The Bothy. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was amazing, thank you so much. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
